What is a Developmental Edit?
Developmental Editing is a thorough and in-depth review of your entire manuscript. The goal of a developmental edit is to point out issues so that you can address them. You have the final say, and if you disagree with the suggestions, I will help determine alternative solutions.
Developmental Editing is the most expensive of the four processes and is the first stage of the editing process.
Developmental Editing pays attention to:
| Clarity | Ambiguity | Tense |
| Structure | POV | Plot Holes |
| Character Motivation | Continuity | Character Development |
| Story Arcs | Use of Dialogue | Presentation |
| Style | Sub-plots | …and more. |
